Enough space and the animals come to visit often!
Yes, had a nice stay! Would only suggest mirrors in bedrooms as they are so spacious. However, one room had a dressing table and we all blew our hair there.

Stay was nice until the wildfire ruined the trip and we couldn't do anything that we planned to do.

Stevens Shibambo; Your comment is very unfair and very unsensitive as this fire was a national disaster, you did sleep in our lodge on the 23 of September and used the outside braai facility and the inside, only on your last day you have to evacuate and I paid you in full for the accommodation of your own choosing.

Very nice.
We were a group of 8 adults. Had a great stay. Very spacious house and bedrooms. Not sure what it's like at other times of the year, but the late afternoon sun baked us out; so from 3 o'clock you could not sit on the stoep at all. Was just too hot, with the sun shining directly in there. We were lucky to be visited by elephants on 2 nights. House has everything needed.

As a group of family (7), we thoroughly enjoyed the few days at Paradise Lodge. It was everything we hoped for and more.
The house is very nicely designed with 5 en suite rooms and a spacious kitchen and porch. Paradise Lodge was perfect for our purposes this weekend. We really enjoyed and appreciated the rich bird life and the wildlife that comes right up to the house. We would book there again anytime.

House needs some maintenance, power plugs are loose etc. The cleaning ladies do not have very good customer interaction. We were still busy with breakfast when they started washing things and cleaning. Could have waited for us to finish eating.

There was everything one would ever need and the place is beautiful and comfortable.
Can only speak highly of the home - it's luxurious enough not to make you want to go back home, nice and spacious and fully equipped. Washing machine, dishwasher and all the other usual household appliances were available. Wildlife around the lodge included warthogs, wild boars, muskellunge cats, kudus and various bird species. Really enjoyed it and can fully recommend it.

A particularly beautiful house with excellent facilities and the most incredible view.
What an amazing place to break away to with family or friends. Beautiful sunsets over the woodland while you sit quietly on the stoep or around the boma with all kinds of goats and warthogs that come to visit on your front stoop. Spacious rooms and living areas, didn't even feel like we were 10 people staying in the same house. By far exceeded my expectations. Friendly service and top class facilities. Would recommend Paradise Lodge to anyone.

Unbelievable.
It was such a nice weekend. The house is nice and clean, big and equipped with everything we needed! The furniture and decor are all so beautifully matched and everything was just nice and comfortable. It is also big enough for a large group and you are not in each other's way all the time. Can't wait for us to visit again! The animals also surprised us in the mornings and late afternoons when they curiously came to see what was going on. Leen was also very helpful and all information was sent to us in good time! Thanks Leen, can't wait until we visit again.

Paradise for four days!
Our family of 8, including two teenagers aged 14 and 17, could not locate available accommodation with a swimming pool on the coast over the Christmas period. We then decided on the interior and did not regret it for a moment. The most peaceful area of Mabalingwe near Bela-Bela was the choice. The location of the house has views 'forever' from anywhere in the house, coupled with sunsets, literally every night, that you cannot do justice to trying to capture with a camera. The house itself is incredibly spacious with the 5 bedrooms, all en suite and the living areas big enough to play hide and seek. All the necessary amenities are there, including a dishwasher, although I don't think there was a washing machine that I could see. We were only there for 4 nights, so it wasn't really necessary. Would love to go back and have already recommended the house to other family members! The wild animals that come to the house, mostly warthogs, baboons, etc. throughout the day, deserves a special place. We bought a whole 10 kg bag of carrots for the warthogs in Bela. We were even more surprised by a visit from a nyalaram who walked right up to us in the dark for a carrot when we were still sitting in the dark one evening after a braai. You can't believe antelopes can become so tame! Wonderful, calming paradise in the Bushveld!

Beautiful place with loads of potential.
Beautiful, newly built place. Large rooms and lovely views. We were a bit disappointed because we specifically booked because of the en suite bathroom in each bedroom. Unfortunately only two of the bathrooms had water, so 10 people had to use 2 bathrooms. The owner's phone was switched off when we tried to call him and he didn't reply to my email. For the price you pay, you'd expect to be given what you've been promised. Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay. If the mentioned problems could be solved, we'd definitely recommend Paradise Lodge.

Hi Jana
Ek sien nou eers hoe hierdie resensie werk, dis nog nuut vir my, ek is vreeslik jammer oor die nie water in boonste badkamers, toe ek jou boodskap sien op my tel (eers die volgende dag) het ek jou gebel en direk die skoonmakers gebel om die probleem uit te sorteer, dit was blykbaar Mabalingwe se water toevoer wat foutief was, sodat die drukpomp nie die water tot bo kon pomp nie.
Ek het vir die een of ander rede, jou e-mail nie ontvang nie.
Ek wil graag vir die ongerief vergoed en jou 50% afslag gee, vir volgende keer
Kontak my gerus water maand julle sal pas.
